Child Care Partial Reimbursement Program for Children of Full-Time Student Parents

Deadline Date: Applications for the Fall '17 semester are due October 20, 2017.

The SCSU Division of Student Affairs recognizes the unique difficulties for many students
who are also parents with young children. To help students who are struggling financially
during the semester due to child care/babysitting expenses for their child(ren) under
12 years old, the SCSU Office of Student Affairs sponsors a Child Care Partial Reimbursement
Program that offers a limit number of subsidies to eligible students.

2017 Application Requirements

Demonstrate financial need as determined by the SCSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
(OFAS) based on the student’s filing of the completed Free Application for Federal
Student Aid Form (FAFSA);

Be full-time matriculated students (undergraduate students: 12 credits minimum; graduate
students: 9 credits minimum) during the semester for which the student is applying
for the partial reimbursement;

Submit a written justification to the Dean of Students (maximum 500 words) explaining
why this assistance is needed; and

The application, copy of the child(ren)’s birth certificate(s) and justification must
be submitted to the SCSU Office of the Dean of Students, Engleman Hall A 106 by the
deadline dates announced for each semester. All applications will be reviewed and
each applicant’s FAFSA status will be determined by the SCSU Office of Financial Aid
and Scholarships (OFAS). The selected eligible students will be notified by email
of their awarded partial reimbursement amount.

***If the student successfully completes the academic semester during which the partial
reimbursement is sought, having attained a GPA of 2.0 for full-time undergraduate
students and 3.0 for full-time graduate students, the student will receive that partial
reimbursement.
